No file ~/.julia/bin/kaimon on windows

[hhaensel]

I successfully installed Kaimon on macos, but still fail on my windows 11 PC.
I tried installing via pkg> add Kaimon as well as pkg> dev Kaimon to work with the latest version. I tried it both on powershell and on WSL.

But in none of the cases I see a file .julia/bin/kaimon, I also don't see any output like 'building Kaimon'.

I do see a file tachi.bat (or tachi for WSL) in the folder .julia/bin, but no other entry.

If I try to execute tachi, I receive an error that Tachikoma is not instantiated, but I can only instantiate it, when I set the folder access rights to writable, which is not the default for package directories.

Maybe I am doing something wrong? Or do I have to wait for a windows compatible version to come out?

I can now answer it myself. I needed to read more carefully. The critical step is to do

pkg> app add Kaimon

and not just

pkg> add Kaimon

@hhaensel Thanks for the update, I was going to respond to you earlier but you beat me to it. Note that Windows support is not as good as for Mac/linux. That partially reflects my own biases, but also just due to the platform I develop on. Any gap with Windows isn't intentional, it's just due to the differences (and in my opinion deficiencies) of that platform.

But happy to help get you up and running, also I'd recommend checking out the Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL2) which is an easy and free way to upgrade your experience when it comes to these tools. (again IMO)

That being said I will continue to work on Windows issues as able, just need some assistance from Window users, thanks!

I'll close this issue after some period if nothing comes up here but leave it for now so it's visible to others.
